The APNX V2 mid-tower case has been reviewed by IgorsLAB, who found that while it looks impressive with its three glass surfaces, its practicality and value for money are questionable.

In display news, Tom's Hardware reviewed the LG Ultra Gear 45GX950A OLED gaming monitor with a 21:9 45-inch screen that offers premium performance.
